NO SIGN OF WEAKNESS

RUSSIAN PREMIERE

ABOUT THE FILM

From the basements of the Parisian suburb Les Mureaux to the rings of Monaco, coach Abadila Hallab guides the destinies of young boxers seeking worldwide recognition through his teachings.

He gets fired from the club during a toxic social climate towards immigrant population, he sticks to his quest by training those he calls his soldiers.

His unwavering commitment to his “kids” mirrors a deeper, more personal fight: the lifelong pursuit of his father's admiration.

RACHID KHAFAGUE

After studying History and Political Science, Rachid Khafague fulfilled his passion for audiovisual work by founding Hapax Films, a company that first produced commercials and institutional films before specializing, through Frédéric Geffroy’s expertise, in post-production (editing, vfx, color grading) for independent films. Hapax ultimately enabled them to autonomously complete the production of their feature-length documentary No Sign of Weakness. Rachid also co-produced Emilio Belmonte’s documentaries No Pasado El Delante (2024), and Rito (2025), as well as the fiction features Swing Rendez-vous (2022) by Gérome Barry and Glory to the Vanquished (2026) by Pierre Giafferi.

FREDERIC GEFFROY

A graduate of ENS Louis-Lumière, Frédéric Geffroy moved to New Zealand where he worked for four years in Peter Jackson’s post-production studio on The Hobbit trilogy. During that time, he directed and edited a short documentary (The Last Lab, 2015) about the closure of the country’s last film development lab. Back in France, he contributed to the vfx of many French and international films in several studios before joining his friend Rachid Khafague at Hapax Films to oversee post-production of commercials and feature films. He is the co-director and editor of No Sign of Weakness.
